Nearly-incompressible transverse isotropy (NITI) of cornea elasticity: model and experiments with acoustic micro-tapping OCE
Abstract The cornea provides the largest refractive power for the human visual system. Its stiffness, along with intraocular pressure (IOP), are linked to several pathologies, including keratoconus and glaucoma. Although mechanical tests can quantify corneal elasticity ex vivo, they cannot be used c...
